"Dealing with the past & Planning for the future - turning urban brownfields into possibilities" Baltic Urban Lab final conference

The conference will present the results of the project and discuss how cities around the Baltic Sea region can tackle better challenges related to brownfield redevelopment. Challenges in brownfield redevelopment are similar across borders : fragmented land ownership, large amount of stakeholders involved, lack of common vision or conflicting development visions, the technical, geological, and financial difficulties of remediating contaminated land as well as questions about responsibility. Close cooperation and partnerships between different actors from the beginning of the redevelopment process are key to tackle these challenges.More info and registration

PUBLENEF workshop : Multi-level support for local authorities to improve energy efficiency

Local authorities, as local consumers and producers (‘prosumers’) of energy, as local policy makers and being closest to their citizens are (should be) in the position to lead the local sustainable energy transition. Energy efficiency (EE) is a cornerstone of sustainable energy policies as the EU Energy Performance of Buildings Directive and relevant national regulation on nZEB (nearly zero energy buildings) requirements demonstrate.

This PUBLENEF workshop, organised by Energy Cities and Energiaklub, will aim at mapping of local authorities’ possibilities to deal with EE ; means and needs of local authorities in energy efficiency, with special regard to nZEB buildings and renovation policies. Placed in a CEE regional context, this workshop seeks to share important supporting possibilities for public nZEB refurbishments.
